  • Yoga and the Five Prana Vayus CONTENTS
    Breath of Life Yoga and the Five Prana Vayus CONTENTS Prana Vayu: 4 The Breath of Vitality Apana Vayu: 9 The Anchoring Breath Samana Vayu: 14 The Breath of Balance Udana Vayu: 19 The Breath of Ascent Vyana Vayu: 24 The Breath of Integration By Sandra Anderson Yoga International senior editor Sandra Anderson is co-author of Yoga: Mastering the Basics and has taught yoga and meditation for over 25 years. Photography: Kathryn LeSoine, Model: Sandra Anderson; Wardrobe: Top by Zobha; Pant by Prana © 2011 Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy of the U.S.A. All rights reserved. Reproduction or use of editorial or pictorial content in any manner without written permission is prohibited. Introduction t its heart, hatha yoga is more than just flexibility or strength in postures; it is the management of prana, the vital life force that animates all levels of being. Prana enables the body to move and the mind to think. It is the intelligence that coordinates our senses, and the perceptible manifestation of our higher selves. By becoming more attentive to prana—and enhancing and directing its flow through the Apractices of hatha yoga—we can invigorate the body and mind, develop an expanded inner awareness, and open the door to higher states of consciousness. The yoga tradition describes five movements or functions of prana known as the vayus (literally “winds”)—prana vayu (not to be confused with the undivided master prana), apana vayu, samana vayu, udana vayu, and vyana vayu. These five vayus govern different areas of the body and different physical and subtle activities.

  • Transnational Bodies of Yogis: a Flow from Analogue Photography to Social Media
    TRANSMISSIONS: THE JOURNAL OF FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES 2016, VOL.1, NO. 2, PP. 90-99. Bilge Gölge Bilkent University Transnational Bodies of Yogis: A Flow from Analogue Photography to Social Media Abstract In the initial stages of “modern, transnational yoga”, the image of the Indian yogi in a yoga pose became an effective medium for introducing the discipline to Western society. Due to this, the Indian subject began to be spoken about in terms of “showmanship”1. At the same time, yoga began interacting with the practices of Western gym culture. Subsequent to the impact of photography, the emergence of the Internet and digital photography have created a different approach to yoga by practitioners. At the end of the historical process of modern postural yoga’s development, we encounter modern Western individuals who today utilize yoga as a way to present themselves through visual materials again, but in a digital space and different cultural context. In this paper, I present the historical evolution of yoga practices in Western society to reveal the re-contextualization of yoga as a transnational concept. Moreover, I question how transnational yoga became a means for modern individuals to present their identity in the context of social media. Here, the body is used as a means for both constituting a social dialogue and communicating self-identity. Even if these two subjects have different approaches towards yoga, Indian showmen and the modern yogi still have commonalities regarding the “show” in a Goffmanian sense2. To investigate the transformation of yoga and highlight similarities and differences due to both technological changes and the dominance of visuality in culture, Instagram is an appropriate platform, as it claims to connect people via images.

Page 76 Page #2 HEAD & NECK Resolving Neck Tension DOUG KELLER Pulling ourselves up by our “neckstraps” is an unconscious, painful habit. The solution is surprisingly simple. When we carry ourselves with the head thrust forward, we create neck pain, shoul- der tension, even disc herniation and lower back problems. A reliable cue to re- mind ourselves how to shift the head back into a more stress-free position would do wonders for resolving these problems, but first we have to know what we’re up against. When it comes to keeping our head in the right place, posturally speaking, the neck is at something of a disadvantage. There are a number of forces at work that can easily pull the neck into misalignment, but only a few forces that maintain the delicate alignment of the head on the spine, allowing all the supporting muscles to work in harmony. Page #3 HEAD & NECK The problem begins with the large muscles that converge at the back of the neck and attach to the base of the skull. These include the muscles of the spine as well as those running from the top of the breastbone along the sides of the neck (the sternocleidomastoids) to the base of the head.

  • Salamba Shirshasana
    Salamba Shirshasana Shirshasana: posizione sulla testa (con supporto delle braccia) (Sa = con , alamba = supporto, Shiro = testa) Da Vajrasana portarsi in Balasana con le braccia distese davanti al corpo e rimanere in questa posizione per alcuni istanti per permettere al sangue di andare verso la testa con maggiore affluenza. Poggiare la testa con la sommità del capo a terra, mettere le mani dietro alla testa intrecciando le dita. I gomiti saranno alla giusta larghezza per formare una base stabile. Il collo dovrà essere dritto ma con una leggera curva lordotica naturale. Il peso dovrà essere non troppo verso la fronte, ma nemmeno troppo dietro al capo. Bisogna cercare la giusta posizione che non affatichi il collo e che non faccia cadere il corpo indietro. Portando avanti le gambe arrivare al punto che la schiena è verticale al suolo e poi sollevare con la forza dei lombi, e non facendo un saltino, le gambe verso l'alto. Ci sarà un primo step (vedi poi il video) dove le ginocchia sono flesse e le cosce vicino all’addome e si fa esperienza della prima perpendicolarità della spina dorsale. Poi si possono distendere le cosce verso l’alto portandole ben dritte verso la perpendicolare, ma le tibie sono ancora flesse in basso II step. Infine si distendono anche le tibie e, finalmente ci si trova con tutto il corpo perpendicolare al pavimento III e ultimo step. E’ molto importante riuscire a gestire questi 3 steo avendo così il pieno controllo e consapevolezza di ogni piccolo spostamento e quindi anche delle varie perpendicolarità che variano ad ogni step.
